Abstract

Learning innovation based on plastic waste recycling is a relevant contextual approach to improve science learning while instilling environmental awareness in elementary schools. This study aims to systematically analyze the types of learning innovations, media forms, impacts, and challenges of implementing plastic waste recycling as a science learning medium in elementary schools. The research method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of national scientific articles published between 2019 and 2025. Literature searches were conducted through Google Scholar, Garuda, DOAJ, and SINTA databases with relevant keywords. Selected articles were analyzed using thematic analysis and synthesized descriptively-qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that learning innovations include innovative learning media, interactive media, STEAM-based projects, P5 thematic learning, and collaborative activities based on sustainable education. The resulting media include ecobricks, educational board games, literacy trees, lapbooks, and creative products from used plastic. The implementation of these innovations positively impacts students' understanding of science concepts, learning outcomes, scientific literacy, creativity, and problem-solving skills. However, challenges remain in teacher preparedness, limited time and resources, and a lack of understanding of the economic aspects of recycled products. This study's findings confirm that using recycled plastic waste can be an effective and sustainable medium for science learning in elementary schools when supported by adequate planning and guidance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between students' mathematics and science learning outcomes using a mixed methods approach with an explanatory sequential design. The quantitative method examines the correlation between the two variables through the Spearman test, while the qualitative method explores students' experiences in learning mathematics and science through interviews and observations. The study was conducted at SD Inpres Mannurukki with a sample of 25 fifth-grade students selected using purposive sampling. Statistical analysis results indicate no significant relationship between mathematics and science learning outcomes, with a correlation coefficient of -0.067 and a significance value of 0.750 (> 0.05). Interviews with students revealed that they found science concepts easier to understand due to hands-on experiments, whereas mathematics was perceived as more abstract and challenging. These findings suggest that although mathematics and science are logically related, other factors, such as teaching methods and experimental experiences, play a more dominant role in shaping science comprehension. Therefore, it is recommended to implement integrated learning strategies, such as the STEM approach or project-based learning, to enhance the connection between mathematical and scientific concepts in education.

Abstract

P5RA is a co-curricular activity in the Merdeka Curriculum. Researchers identified the problem of high volumes of plastic waste in the madrasah environment, so the P5RA project, with a recycling theme, was implemented to strengthen the Social Emotional Skills (SES) sub-domain for students. This study aims to describe the implementation and impact of SES-based P5RA recycling on Phase C students. The study used a qualitative, field-research approach and was carried out at MI NU Miftahul Ulum Loram Kulon Kudus. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model, which includes data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. The results of the study show that: (1) The implementation of SES-based P5RA plastic waste recycling takes place through the stages of planning, implementation, evaluation, and follow-up. (2) This program has a significant impact on instilling the values ​​of Pancasila Students and rahmatan lil’ alamin in Phase C students, especially the values ​​of cooperation, creativity, dynamism, and innovation (tathawur wa ibtikar). Furthermore, the three sub-domains of SES responsibility, emotional control, and cooperation were successfully internalized. Overall, this research has positive implications for strengthening character education, environmental awareness, and developing the creative economy, while also contributing to sustainable plastic waste management within the madrasah environment and surrounding communities.

Abstract

This paper explores in depth the creativity and engagement of students in art learning with ecoprint techniques through a project-based learning model in elementary school. This research was conducted in a rural elementary school in Malang using a qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the interactive analytical model proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, which encompasses three stages: data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. Data trustworthiness was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that the application of the Project-Based Learning model in arts instruction, using the ecoprint technique, significantly enhances students’ creativity and engagement in learning. The instructional process followed a systematic sequence that began with essential questions, designing a project plan, creating an activity schedule, supervising the project work, assessing the resulting product, and conducting an evaluation. This pedagogical practice successfully provided learners with a more contextual and experiential learning environment. Further research is recommended to implement this model in schools or grade levels with different typological characteristics, enabling more rigorous testing of its effectiveness across various educational contexts.

Abstract

This study examines the values of the Pancasila Student Profile contained in the novel Kartini by Wiwid Prasetyo and their relevance to Indonesian language learning in elementary schools. The research aims to describe (1) the Pancasila Student Profile values presented in the novel and (2) their relevance to elementary Indonesian language teaching materials. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method. The data consist of quotations, phrases, and declarative sentences obtained from the novel and Character Education documents issued by the Ministry of Education and Culture. Data were collected through library research, document analysis, and note-taking, with purposive sampling used. Data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation, while data were analyzed using the interactive analysis model of Miles and Huberman, including data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the Kartini novel contains six dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile: faith in God Almighty, global diversity, mutual cooperation, independence, creativity, and critical reasoning. These values are relevant to Indonesian language learning materials in elementary schools, particularly in fostering character values such as faith, diversity, cooperation, responsibility, leadership, and social care. The findings imply that novels can serve as effective learning media for integrating character education and strengthening the Pancasila Student Profile in elementary education.
